New Beginnings

I didn’t really enjoy these last few chapters. Which i just found to be so odd because i adore this book so much. Jane had finally left Thornfield and gotten away from Rodchester (thank goodness!), but a part of me just feels upset that she left. As much as i despise Rodchester and all the abusive threats he made towards Jane, I think that she made him a better person. I also just feel like she should have taken Adele with her. It just doesn't settle right with me that she left Adele alone with Rodchester. Anyways on to the really frustrating stuff, I was really scared when she decided she’d be sleeping outside and kind of living off the land. Anything could have happened to her, she eventually had to beg for food which broke my heart.

I don’t even understand how all those people could turn Jane down. All she needed was some bread to keep herself going. But then she comes across Moor House, she sees Diana and Mary on the front porch laughing and talking in German. I fell in love with them as soon as I read that page, strong sister bonds make me feel so warm and happy on the inside. There is no real way for me to explain in, but when you see sisters interacting together it’s something amazing. They bring out the best in each other, and I was so happy when Jane went to knock on their door. But when Hannah the housemaid answered the door she immediately wanted to send Jane away. That made feel so upset, how could anyone shut the door on jane and leave her in the cold rain to die!

After the door has been shut on Jane, St. John comes across her weeping on the porch. He brings her into his home (finally someone coming to their senses!!!), the two sisters nurse her back to health along with Hannah. Eventually Jane feels much better, the two sisters and Jane bond which really warmed my heart. Diana and Mary taught Jane some German, and Jane taught the girls how to draw. I honestly was very upset when I found out that that the girls were going to go Governess and not stay with Jane at the school. I absolutely adored them being all together, so much girl power. I was also really pleased when St. John gave Jane a job at the new school he was opening up. To finish things off, I really do enjoy that Jane has Rosemond to visit her often. She’s like a ray of sunshine, but I feel like Jane also needs to have someone who can keep an intellectual conversation with. Jane and Rosamond are pretty affectionate towards each other which I think they both need, because Rosamond needs someone because St. John is like a typical high school being a doof with his emotions. Jane also needs someone who will adore her and be her companion, she doesn't deserve to be lonely. One thought I keep on having is Jane, Diana, Mary, and Rosamond all being in a girl gang. Don’t deny that it crossed your mind at some point.
